​

 

​

​

• 2 to 3 very ripe bananas, peeled (about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups mashed)

• 1/3 cup melted butter, unsalted or salted

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 3/4 cup sugar (1/2 cup if you would like it less sweet, 1 cup if sweeter)

• 1 large egg, beaten

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

 

​

​

 

​

1. First, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan.

2. Then in a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until completely smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

3 After that mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour.

4 Later pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

5 Finally, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then remove the banana bread from the pan and let cool completely before serving. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't crumbly.)

 

I hope you enjoy this recipe and have fun preparing it during these times!
